A strong pale ale of distinctive taste. Plenty of Goldings hops give it something extra. Like sunshine dancing on your tongue.

Bottle: Deep golden to light amber coloured with a medium-sized fluffy head: slowly collapsing, but still stable; citrousy-fruity nose with a tinge of molasses and a distinctive (presumably continental) hoppy aroma; moderate bitter lavour, light to medium bodied; malty, slightly sweetish finish with a very pleasant, lingering aromatic hoppiness. The right stuff..........

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A slightly hazy orange beer with a beige head. The aroma is fruity combined with light notes of diacethyl. The flavor is sweet diacethyl, combined with preserved peaches. The mouthfeel is a bit sticky.

Bottle. Pale amber/copper coloured with a large white head. Aroma has yeast, malt, fruit and hops. Flavour is better than the aroma led to expect; a bit of yeast, fruity, malty with some nice hoppy bitterness in the finish.

Cask gravity at The George, Bethersden, Summer BF 2006. Hazy deep copper colour with no head. Not a very good aroma, but sweet sticky hops in mouth are good. Mangoish fruit and hop aroma. Even a bit of farty yeast. It’s either not ready or past it’s best I would guess. Sticky strong hop flavour on end. In fact the sweet sticky hop is just too mcuh for me.

Lightly hazed amber orange ale with a thin lacing off-white head. Doughy malt aroma, a bit yeasty, but hops are long gone. In mouth, pleasant sweet caramel malt, giving way to oxidized notes, a bit phenolic. Some nutty tones are there, and the body is medium. Bought at LCBO.

Cask on gravity. One of the best pints I had last year 2005, they really don’t get much better than this, lovely amber colour, wonderful hoppy taste it’s like the summer condensed into a pint glass, difficult to savour coz’ you just cannot put it down. Thumbs up to Hooky they rarely put a foot wrong.
